Partner Dan Larsh

Dan Larsh, East Texas Bean Counter Partner, is a business owner, bookkeeper, and techie-guru. Dan is a self-starter who did just about everything himself for his businesses – bookkeeping, built his own computers and set-up his own network – you name it. When it comes to bookkeeping, he says he was trained by the best – Jenny Clark! Dan worked for Jenny as a bookkeeper after selling one of his businesses in 2012. He had his own bookkeeping business, and now he and Jenny have joined forces to provide East Texas with bookkeeping services covering the full gamut. Dan holds a Quickbooks™ Pro Advisor certification. He is often setting up Quickbooks and troubleshooting a client’s computer or network, while Jenny is expertly training the client in Quickbooks – it’s a great partnership of the MAS kind (Mutual Admiration Society.) Dan has been happily married for 36 years (he thinks his wife has been, too) and has two children, Chad and Amy. Amy also works for East Texas BeanCounters.
